The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 551 Ordinary Everyday Life 3

Ye Qingqing went back to her room to do embroidery after lunch.

The small embroidery needle kept flying in Ye Qingqing's hand, and the embroidery threads of different shades were constantly replaced.

Ye Qingqing used embroidery thread to paint on the white silk, and the embroidery thread gathered together to form a complete petal.

Ye Qingqing used some ingenuity to embroider a drop of crystal clear dew on the petals. The dewdrop is round and cute, making people lovable just by looking at it.

After embroidering a petal, Ye Qingqing guessed that Ye Mu and the others were coming over, so she got up and took out all the things she had bought at the pier.

Ye Qingqing had already packed her things yesterday and put them in her dowry box and locked them. These things are valuable and cannot be left carelessly.

Various embroidery threads and white silk were wrapped in cloth several layers by Ye Qingqing and placed on the top of the box.

Ye Qingqing took out the things and saw that there were still a lot of fabrics in the box. Ye Qingqing also had a headache because of the box full of fabrics.

There are not many people in the family, so we can't wear so much fabric, and although the fabric is durable, it will be easily eaten by insects after being stored for a long time.

"With so much fabric, how about using it as a gift at the end of the year?"

Ye Qingqing was in a good mood. This was really a good idea. It would save money and get rid of the excess fabric.

Moreover, in daily relationships, if someone is getting married or has a full moon, they can also send a few feet of fabric to them.

After Ye Qingqing took out the things, he locked the box again.

White silk is particularly delicate and will turn yellow easily after being stored for a long time, and the storage conditions are also strict.

Ye Qingqing's embroidery work is slow, and she may not be able to use up this piece of white silk in a year or two.

Ye Qingqing planned to divide the piece of white silk with Ye Mu and the others, and then buy a new one after using it, so that he would not worry about it getting damaged.

Ye Qingqing also had his own little plan. He planned to bring a few people together and go to the dock to get the goods from the Hangzhou merchant.

The merchant's goods were originally cheaper from Yang's Cloth Store, and the quantity they wanted together was quite large, so the price could definitely be lowered.

In this way, the cost of embroidery can be reduced, but it is a pity that the second cousin lives in the town now and could not notify her to come with her.

After the second cousin Wang Yueya and Li Yan got married, the Li family kept their promise and bought the young couple a house in the town with one child in it.

Although the money to buy the house was considered as an advance from the father-in-law to them, if the brothers separate in the future, this money will be taken back.

But this is a real house, and Li Yan's name is also written on the title deed.

Li Yan and Wang Yueya live in the town, while Li Yan's eldest brother and Landlord Li look after the family's fields in the village.

Li Yan worked as an accountant in the town, and Wang Yueya did embroidery at home on weekdays. They paid 3% of the money they earned to the public house, and the two of them kept the rest.

The second uncle's family is very satisfied. The Li brothers have their own businesses. Although the Li family is not separated on the surface, it is almost the same.

Wang Yueya is good at embroidery. Now he can earn four to five taels of silver every month by doing embroidery. To be honest, he earns more than Li Yan.

At first, the Li family took a fancy to Wang Yueya's embroidery skills, which could make money, and her gentle and generous temperament. After marrying into the Li family, her husband's family all respected her.

The Li family also has a small shop in the town, which was previously rented out.

I heard that it is planned to let Li Yan start a small business by the end of the year. Now the young couple is thinking about what they want to do to make a living.

Ye Qingqing thought about the situation of her second cousin. In addition to the finest embroidery thread and silk, the merchant also had some ordinary fabrics and needlework.

It would actually be good if we could keep the prices down, buy some cheap needlework and fabrics, and open a small cloth shop back home.

As soon as Ye Qingqing took out the things, the voices of Ye Mu and others came from the front yard.

In addition to Ye Mu, Grandma Ye, Li and Ye Qingmei also came with her.

Ye Qingmei got married earlier than Ye Qingqing, and last month they found out they were pregnant. Li and Wang Lin were overjoyed, smiling happily with everyone they saw.

Ye Qingmei is now more than three months pregnant, and her belly is slightly swollen. Mrs. Li has been walking beside her, carefully supporting her.

Ye Qingqing walked out quickly with something in hand and took several people to the hall.

Ye Qingqing was anxious. Mother Ye couldn't wait to take out the contents of the bag and the white silk in her hands and put them on the table before they sat down.

Several people quickly gathered around. Grandma Ye and Mother Ye gathered around to look at the white silk, while Mrs. Li and Ye Qingmei picked up a few bundles of embroidery thread to take a closer look.

叶青青不急不慢的说道:“这匹白丝绸4两8钱,绣线110文一捆,绣花针色150文一套,这些东西总共是6两930文。”

"I bargained with the boss for half the sky-high price, and finally got it for sixty-two and five cents. If we go to purchase goods, the price should be cheaper if the quantity is large."

Among the four people, only Ye Qingmei's embroidery skills were average. The remaining three were good at embroidery and were well-informed.

The three of them could see at a glance that Ye Qingqing had bought good things, and the prices were cheaper than those at Buzhuang, and they were very satisfied.

Grandma Ye took a few more bundles of embroidery thread and looked at them carefully, and then said cheerfully:

"This fabric and needlework are indeed good things from Hangzhou, and the price is right. I think we can get the goods directly from the merchant in Hangzhou in the future."

Ye Qingqing also smiled and said: "Grandma, I think so too. We can make a lot of it together, and the price may be even lower."

"Your aunt and two cousins ​​also do embroidery at home on weekdays, so we can get together to buy them."

Although my uncle's family lives in the town, the town is close to the village, and the family has a good relationship when they come back frequently. Grandma Ye also misses her uncle's family.

With more people, they will naturally want more things, and the prices will definitely be lowered. Thinking of this, the smile on Ye Qingqing's face became even brighter.

"Okay, I'm thinking of calling my cousin-in-law over next time."

"Why are you calling your brother-in-law?"

Ye Mu was a little puzzled. When buying things for embroidery, just call her Shangyue Yatou.

Ye Qingqing explained: "In addition to these good embroidery threads and silks, the merchants also have some ordinary fabrics and needlework."

"Aren't my second cousin and brother-in-law thinking about what kind of business the Li family's small shop should do? If the fabrics are suitable, I think it would be good to open a small cloth shop."

"There's no rush about this. We'll go to the dock together then to see how the fabrics and needlework are. As for whether they want to open a fabric shop, it's up to the couple to decide for themselves."

Business can be big or small. If the business of Buzhuang is not good, the two sisters will easily get hurt. Grandma Ye does not want Ye Qingqing to interfere more.

"I know. I will mention this matter to my second cousin. Whether we should open a cloth shop and how we should do it, I won't get involved."

Ye Qingqing also wanted to remind him, but didn't really want to get involved.

The better the relationship, the clearer the distinction between money and money. She doesn't want to lose her sisters because of money.
